Maybe, but then it's a genius move, and he can still laugh at them.
All the world was quite busy with learning the name 'OpenAI' during the last months. But OpenAI is history.
The world is learning the name 'Sam Altman' now.
The only thing I associate with the name Sam Altman after this week is incest rape.
What?
His sister claims he raped and abused her since she was 4.

Yeah I dunno bud, I think there’s a pretty big difference between fighting with your siblings and raping them.
The board said they fired him because he wasn't being honest with them, there's no details beyond that so I don't know where you're getting incest from?
SMH do we really have to do this god-emperor thing with every single dude who gets a little bit of fame in the business world
This made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Didn’t you fan boys learn after Elon? Altman is not something I’d recommend idolizing. From his crypto BS, to his preper stuff (saying he will survive in the apocalypse… sure), to the stuff his sister is saying he did to her, to his general doucheyness, to his attempts at regulatory capture…
Curious why the down votes? I think it's fair to say this news has been pretty remarkable and has even made it on the news stations. I think a lot of people are probably learning his name right now and makes him seem 'valuable' if the board asks him to come back.
Outside of some major smoking gun, it makes this board look ridiculous. People are already questioning the members credentials and theyve seemingly lost a ton of credibility.
The idea that they are already second guessing amplifies all of that.
For better or worse Sam has been the defacto face of AI for the last 6 months and openAI has such a giant lead on the competition right now. The dev day stuff was actually exciting. Assistants, specialized gpts, the gpt store concept, turbo, etc.
From the Publix perspective Sam has the potential to come out of this looking good and open AI can only lose our here. They surprised their largest partner. That's just a no no. That will have long term consequences regardless of what happens with Sam.
This seems like a huge mistake.
